Every girl dreams of having smooth and beautiful skin. Inflammation and acne is a common problem of many modern beauties. You can have a professional facial cleansing in the salon or squeeze out blackheads yourself at home. Each girl herself chooses the way to clean her face, depending on her preferences and financial capabilities.
Summary of procedure
All skin needs periodic complex cleaning. The main purpose of this procedure is to remove exfoliated cells and excess sebum, due to which the appearance deteriorates, acne and other skin problems occur. More often than others, girls with oily skin need such a procedure.
In fact, facial cleansing is the same squeezing of large blackheads, which many people so often like to do at home, standing in front of a mirror. But in the salon they use special cosmetic tools. The whole process here takes place in a sterile environment, which cannot be said about home squeezing out acne and blackheads.
In addition, additional procedures may be carried out in the salon after cleaning, which are impossible or very difficult to repeat on your own.
Prosprocedures
Mechanical skin cleaning in the salon is squeezing blackheads under a microscope. And before deciding on this procedure, you need to know its positive and negative points.
Start with the positives:
- This type of skin cleansing is the most effective of all such cleansing procedures.
- Since cleaning is done manually, the beautician can easily extrude blackheads in the most inaccessible places.
- The effect of mechanical cleaning is the same as after chemical peeling: the pores are narrowed, the complexion is he althy, there are no annoying pimples and blackheads.
Cons of the procedure
Despite the fact that the salon extrusion of blackheads (photo below) has a number of undeniable advantages, this procedure also has disadvantages.
So, the cons of mechanical cleaning:
- Because cleaning is done by hand, there is a risk of injury, especially if the procedure is prolonged and lasts longer than 15 minutes. After all, it is after a quarter of an hour that the pores on steamed coffee begin to close. As a result, pain and injury occur. To avoid this, you need to carefully choose the master who will carry out the cleaning. The beautician must do everything quickly and efficiently.
- Skin redness and swelling in the first few days after the procedure. There is no way to avoid this, you just need not plan cleaning before responsible events.
- The human factor plays an important role. To avoid unpleasant consequences, make sure thatthe beautician's instruments and hands were sterile.
Cost of mechanical cleaning
It is worth noting that the price of the procedure is relatively low. On average, the cost of such cleaning will range from 1500 to 5000 rubles. Do not try to save money and choose a salon cheaper. Such excessive frugality can spoil your appearance and harm the he alth of your skin. Choose high-quality and proven salons, and then your skin will delight you with its he alth and beauty.
Preparing for the procedure
In order for the squeezing of blackheads to pass without negative consequences, it is important to properly prepare for the procedure.
First, you need to remove all makeup from the skin and carry out the procedure for opening the pores. To remove makeup, use special cosmetics suitable for a particular type of skin. If the skin needs additional cleansing, then special masks are used. It is also possible to carry out a gentle superficial peeling to remove the stratum corneum.
Then the skin must be steamed. To do this, the face is heated under jets of warm steam for several minutes. The epidermis softens and the pores open.
Some salons use thermal gel to open pores. Due to this, the skin retains all the necessary moisture, so this method is considered more gentle than standard steaming.
In addition, steaming is contraindicated for people with certain diseases, such as asthma or rosacea. In these cases it is betteravoid heat exposure to the skin. Then beauticians use cold hydrogenation.
The essence of it lies in the fact that a special gel is applied to the skin, which moisturizes the skin for 20 minutes. This contributes to the swelling of the cells of the epidermis and the weakening of the intercellular bonds between them. That is, the surface of the skin is loosened and the pores open.
The beautician must then prepare all the necessary tools and put on sterile gloves for the actual cleaning.
When the skin is steamed or the gel is removed, the face should be dried and treated with 3% hydrogen peroxide.
Cleaning tools
The main tool for squeezing blackheads is the Uno spoon. This is a special cosmetic tool in the form of a small spoon, in which there are small holes. At its other end is another spoon with a smaller diameter. It has one hole in the center.
The comedone extractor is a loop-shaped tool that is also often used to remove blackheads. In addition, squeezing blackheads is not complete without a needle and Vidal's spear. These tools are used by beauticians to widen strong ducts.
There are many other devices, but the main one is the hands of the master, with which he removes the most difficult pollution.
Progress of mechanical cleaning
Squeezing blackheads begins with the removal of greasy plaque. To do this, the beautician uses the wide part of the Uno spoon. Those areas of the skin on which there are immature acne and inflammation, touchcan't.
The master should periodically disinfect the instrument with 3% hydrogen peroxide or any other solution. On the forehead, movements with a spoon should be done from the bottom up, on the cheeks - from the outside to the center, and on the nose - from the base to the back of the nose.
Then the beautician is taken to remove the sebaceous plugs. To do this, it uses an extractor (loop). It must be placed above the black dot so that it can be seen in the hole. Then you need to press lightly, and the comedone is easily removed.
To remove a whitehead, it must first be pierced. The puncture must be done parallel to the surface of the skin. The eel can then be easily squeezed out by hand.
It is important to remember that the master must disinfect all instruments very often and with high quality.
Those comedones that cannot be squeezed out with the tool are removed by hand. The beautician should wrap their fingers in sterile wipes.
At the final stage of cleaning, the face should be wiped with a lotion containing alcohol.
As for the duration of the procedure, it is different in each salon. A minimum cleaning can last 15 minutes, a maximum of an hour or more. It is very important to remember that the effect of steaming disappears within 20 minutes, and the pores begin to close. Then squeezing out blackheads becomes difficult and possibly painful. The risk of skin injury increases. Therefore, it is very important to choose a professional beautician who will carry out the procedure in a short time. If it doesn’t work out quickly, then it’s better to divide the cleaning into several stages.
If the skin conditionvery neglected, sometimes in salons, along with mechanical cleaning, vacuum is used. To do this, use a glass tube with reduced pressure inside, which literally sucks blackheads.
Additional procedures
Sometimes decontamination is necessary before cleaning. Under the influence of this method, blackheads are softened as much as possible and they are easier to remove.
After the procedure, the skin is irritated and needs to be "soothed". There are many ways to do this in the salon, for example, a soothing clay mask or irradiation with an infrared lamp. The way to relieve irritation is selected individually for each skin type.
How to care for the skin after the procedure?
It should be noted that you will not see an instant result after cleaning. For this you need to wait a few days. In order for the result to become noticeable as soon as possible and last as long as possible, you should not wash your face and use cosmetics for the first few hours. Solarium and long walks in the sun at this time is also better to remove. As a rule, four days after the procedure, the skin is completely restored, looking radiant and fresh.
